for the ``5.4`` branch, the PR will also be applied by the core team on

all the ``6.x`` branches that are still maintained.

During the:ref:`stabilization phase<contributing-release-development>`, the development branch is in

feature freeze. Please help the community prepare for the new version release. If you want to submit a

new feature pull request, you should target the next version. For example, if ``6.3`` reached feature

freeze, new features should target ``6.4``. If the ``6.4`` branch does not yet exist, target ``6.3``

and rebase your pull requests once the branch is created.
